Canon HV20<br />
With its jaw-dropping hi-def<br />
picture, the HV20 can make even<br />
the cheesiest cat video look like it<br />
belongs on Discovery’s HD Theater.<br />
This 1080i HD video powerhouse<br />
has a trim, 1.2-pound body that’s<br />
comfortable to tote casually.<br />
What’s more, it’s relatively easy<br />
on the wallet. If the HV20 has one<br />
notable flaw, it’s that it records<br />
footage to old-school tape instead<br />
of nonlinear media such as DVDs,<br />
hard drives, and memory cards.<br />
We had hoped to leave tape<br />
behind in 2007, but if it’s tape<br />
the HV20 needs, then it’s tape the<br />
HV20 gets. —HELMUT KOBLER<br />
